Also played on his team's top line.
Played on a Junior team with other Wildcats protected players Frankie Vatrano and Alex Gacek. So Flynn must have got a decent look at this guy while scouting the others. Heard he's larger , more like 6'5'' 220lbs. Tough guy.

Figures. It seemed kind of weird to add him when there's alot better players ..

that's weird...i thought that wasnt how it worked!!! remember i said a while back...you have to consider a lot of things when you look at who gets invites and goes to training camps.
i'm sure the fact his father use to be the wildcats manager has nothing to do with the fact he was invited to camp

Caught the game tonight. Pretty good game overall, fast and a few big hits. For Moncton, up front I liked Hodge, Thomas, Pitre, Hynes, Spears and Gagne. Standing out the most Hodge, and Gagne, for me atleast. Hodge played physical and created a few chances. Gagne is a perimeter player for sure, but I liked him, always buzzing. On the backend I liked Sweeney, Primeau, McCabe and Labbé. Sweeney created a lot of chances however tried to do too much and often got caught up doing it. I wonder if that will work against veterans like Brent Andrews, Josh Currie, etc. Anyways, I liked McCabe's game second best, he flattened two or three kids and I read that he was -3, I don't think he was but I did miss two goals against. Primeau never made any standout plays other than a few passes. Could be a dependable # 7 or 8 guy who could step in with ease. Labbé threw the body around and made a few good passes, but he doesn't have a good enough hockey IQ to play this year. I think any of the first three mentioned all have a shot at making it, but Sweeney is the only one who will if no moves are made. Sharp was not that good in nets, I think it's set in stone who the goalies are. Bathurst had better forwards and Moncton had better D, while goaltending was equal. Great game to watch though, but I was hoping for one of Arthur, Simpson, Thomas or Spears to step up to Dube who was stirring the pot all night. Maybe tomorrow. Still a great game though!

why do the wildcats always have to justify why they have loss in the times transcript. Does Neil hodge expect them to win every game and if they dont, he feels he has to tell fans why they loss?? ever thought that perhaps they just go outplayed?!?! maybe bathurst did have an older line up....but if the wildcats would have won, do you think he would have mentioned that bathurst had an older line up

Older lineup?

The Titan had Lyle and Kabambi, 2 4th liners last season as veterans in that game.
The rest was 90% 16-17YOs.....

As I mentioned earlier, it is no secret to me that the Titan have more depth than Moncton offensively and the stream of rookies coming in might show that also.
Their D depth however is deeper than ours.

oh, i dont care who was in the line up. personally i think pre-season games mean nothing in the grand scheme of who finished where in the standings. Its just annoying that the T transcript is already justifying loses.....the outshot bathurst 40-24...why do you have to explain why they lost. they got 40 shots, surely they did something right, and it had nothing to do with age of players!!!!
